What it does

Telegram Compose is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Compose rich, readable Telegram messages using HTML formatting via direct Telegram API. Use when: (1) Sending any Telegram message beyond a simple one-line reply, (2) Creating structured messages with sections, lists, or status updates, (3) Need formatting unavailable via Clawdbot's Markdown conversion (underline, spoilers, expandable blockquotes, user mentions by ID), (4) Sending alerts, reports, summaries, or notifications to Telegram, (5) Want professional, scannable message formatting with visual hierarchy…

Its SKILL.md is about 890 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Messaging and chat bots and Markdown. It works with Telegram. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • Sending any Telegram message beyond a simple one-line reply
  • Creating structured messages with sections
  • Need formatting unavailable via Clawdbots Markdown conversion (underline
  • Expandable blockquotes

Example prompts

  • “/telegram-compose”

Requirements

  • A credential in BOT_TOKEN

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Faux headings: EMOJI CAPS TITLE with blank line after
  2. Emojis: 1-3 per message as visual anchors, not decoration
  3. Whitespace: Blank lines between sections
  4. Long content: Use
  5. Links: Own line, with arrow: Link Text →

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • jq
    • curl

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.telegram.org

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • BOT_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Telegram Compose loads about 887 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 149 tokens; SKILL.md has 127 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~149
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~887

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 127 words (~887 tokens).
